Alger County Road Commission denies access to trail

ALGER COUNTY, MI--   An Alger County snowmobile trail is closed for the 2016 season.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources says the affected stretch is Trail No. 422 from Trail No. 8 to Miners Castle.  Permission to use a portion of H-58 as groomed trail to access Miners Castle was not granted by the Alger County Road Commission. 

DNR officials say every effort was made to keep the trail open.  They say a variety of partners and DNR staff are working on an alternate route for next season.
